Summit of Despair by Cherie LaLanne

Summit of Despair

A run through Hell on deadly curves

Afraid of what could be

Miles of twisted roads run on inside of me

Riding out Hell's Dark Canyon ~ roads have been so rough

Climbing the highest mountain

One ride that's made me tough

Darkness appears as clouds ~ Loneliness and despair

Blinded by hopelessness and fear which lead me there

Drowning storms reaching and tearing at my soul

Unable to see the light above ~ At times so bitter cold

Waiting for the landslide around the curve ahead

Hopeful for the Meadow of Life ~ Appearing there instead

Deepest valleys with gouging pain ~ Strength only for today

Costly tolls for bridges burned ~ Each day a price to pay

Bound with no escape riding circles around this place

Studying the pools of water ~ The reflection is not my face

The lair of scars runs deep within

forming tales I'll one day tell ~

Memories of painful battles along the roads through Hell ~

Thankful to the Angels of Mercy while broke down on the road

Don't feel so lost ~ I know now I do not ride alone ~

Twists and turns won't seem so deadly ~ Just a better ride

Fear, despair, and anger now released from inside ~

More winds to ride before I rest ~ Look to my Angel to guide me now

Ridin on ~ Free from fear ~I'll make it ~ I won't go down ~

Ridin higher ~ Lookin ahead ~ The summit around the bend

Losing sight ~ Not believing ~ Won't ride through there again ~

Smoother roads are calling beyond the Summit of Despair

Thundering winds calmed to a whisper ~ Faith will get me there ~
